Right now, I am unsure, everything is flipped up in the air right now. A LOT of unknowns.

Reason I asked the above, is because we are moving into a new house, and I want to get this RIGHT the first time. This is a brand new house. We went to a building company. We picked out the house design, what it looks like, things in it, etc. I wanted to be in charge of networking, and my parents know it. I want to use our current router as an AP system, that will be in our living room. SO, I do not know if Spectrum is going to use their own modem. When they come, I want to be there with my unmanaged switch that I want to install in the basement. Right where the line will come in.

SOx2, I do not know if I will have control over my AP. That I will NEED a router in front of the modem.

If you don't need any advanced router features, id just get a basic wired router like a edge router light. even lower power, easy to use, and more than enough features for this use
